"VINTAGE BUTTERFLY BLOCK"
Welcome to week two of the
"BEE VINTAGE"
Sew Along!
Join me here each week
when I will be doing 3 tutorials
on three blocks for the quilt.
Of course because we are all sewing
from all around the world
we all have different time zones...
But I will be posting each
Monday - Wednesday - Friday
right here on my blog
and you can follow my tutorials
any time during the week that
is convenient for you.
We are making the
Bee Vintage Sampler Quilt
71" x 84"
I've been getting ready for
when it was time to begin...
and now that time is here!!
The quilt is made with my fabric
collection called Bee Vintage...
and a few other prints from my basics collections as well!
I hope that you all have all
received your
fabric kits by now...
and that we are all ready to begin!!
If you still need one ...
just do a quick google search for
"Bee Vintage Quilt Kit"
to find shops who still have some left.
We are also using the
Bee Vintage
Sew Simple Shapes
I have already posted the
post which details all of the supplies
for the sew along and how it works.
I have also given the link there
for the free PDF Download
of the Sew Along Guide
to download the sew along guide
if you have not downloaded yet.
As per usual for the first block in my
Sew Simple Shape Sew Alongs
that FIRST tutorial is a video.
Because I now have my own
I have posted the
Vintage Strawberry Block
Tutorial there.
to visit my channel and watch the
tutorial and I hope that you love it!
for the tutorial on
VINTAGE APPLE BLOCK
Last time we made the
VINTAGE CHERRIES BLOCK
for that tutorial
Today we are making a butterfly!
Here is my Vintage Butterfly Block
All cut...traced and ready to go:)
Here is a list of the
Bee Vintage
Sew Simple Shapes
needed for this block:
1 - P-22
1 - P-48
2 - P-49
***TAKE NOTE***
That you will need to TRACE ONE
of the P-49 shapes in reverse.
To trace in reverse...
simply turn the Sew Simple Shape
over so that the right side
(you can tell from the printing on the shape)
is facing down and then trace!
Easy Peasy:)
Cut your background
12" x 12"
and press it in half for centering
the butterfly when
pinning and glue basting:)
I thought you might like to sew
what the back of my shapes look like
after sewing...turning and pressing!
Take note that for this block
each shape has cleavage areas to clip and the
bottom wings also have inner curves:)
Ready for layout!
This block is pretty straight forward to
lay out and here is your Trim-It Ruler photo
for easy peasy placement!
And we have 8" tall...
And 9 1/2" wide:)
Sue Glued and pinned.
And yes...
I used the Easy Trace Light Box
and the embroidery pattern from the
guide to trace on the butterfly antennae...
I used 3 strands of the floss
and a backstitch and embroidered.
Ready for applique!
You know the drill...
after applique press from the back
and trim down to 10 1/2" square
before sewing it into your quilt.
